CC 18. Updated Purchase Order – Parron Hall Furniture City Hall Renovation and Modernization:
Request for 10% Contingency Increase
Approve an updated Furniture Purchase Order with Parron Hall for the City Hall Renovation
and Modernization to include an increased contingency of 10%, bringing the total
contingency amount to $220,996.52. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all
documents. Pricing remains based on Allsteel’s OMNIA Partners contract #R191802.
The request for a 10% contingency is consistent with industry best practices for projects of
this scale and complexity. It will provide an additional safeguard, allowing the project to
proceed smoothly without unexpected delays due to funding shortages. The City remains
committed to prudent fiscal management while ensuring the success of this critical project.
The increase in the contingency amount is a proactive measure to secure the investment made
in the City’s infrastructure, thereby enhancing service delivery, safety, and accessibility. The
original contract with Parron Hall, which was competitively solicited through OMNIA
Partners, remains in effect. OMNIA Partners ensures compliance and delivers maximum
value, thereby streamlining the purchasing process for local governments like ours.
